Evaluation

THE EVALUATION OF THE CONCEPT OF THE EMEE PROJECT BY MUSEUM EXPERTS

Taken as a whole, the evaluation of the EMEE concept focused on two main target groups, namely museums professionals and experienced opinion leaders working in museums or in the field of museum education. The evaluation aimed not only to explore the thoughts of these target groups on the EMEE concept of the Change of Perspective, but also to obtain feedback on whether, in their opinion, the workshops and Toolkits developed during the EMEE project have the potential to help remedy the identified shortcomings in the museum field.

The evaluation process was carried out between June 2015 and May 2016 and consisted of a semi-structured interview with 51 participants, containing closed-ended and open-ended questions that ranged from personal details to in-depth statements on the activities implemented in the EuroVision Lab.s and workshops and, in more general terms, on the impact of the EMEE Change of Perspective on the respondents’ professional lives. Later on, the results of the evaluation process were presented to and discussed in a focus group during the 24th ICOM General Conference, which took place in Milan in July 2016 and aimed to gather suggestions and recommendations that experts had to offer in light of the evaluation.
